No Bake Chocolate Cream Pie Recipe Ingredients

*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Pre-Made Graham Cracker Crust:  A pre-made pie crust makes this recipe even easier and adds a delicious buttery flavor to the pie. This pie shell can be found on the baking aisle of your local grocery store.

Cool Whip: The secret ingredient that gives this pie its light and airy texture. Make sure to use an 8-ounce tub of whipped topping for the perfect consistency. Allow the Cool Whip to thaw to room temperature before mixing with the chocolate.

Milk Chocolate: Use your favorite brand of milk chocolate or experiment with different types like dark or white chocolate. You can also add extra toppings like chopped nuts, fruit, or a drizzle of caramel. I used a Giant Hershey’s chocolate bar, but chocolate chips can also be used.

How to Make Chocolate Cool Whip Pie 

[Step 1] Begin by melting 9-12 ounces of milk chocolate (Hershey Bar or chocolate chips) in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. (Reserve one rectangle of the chocolate bar to make chocolate curls for the top of the pie.
